Contemporary research in the policy sciences places effectiveness as the central goal of policy design. This emphasis permeates both micro-level design considerations for specific policy calibrations, as well as more meso-level policy tool and tool mixes. Effective instrument design, therefore, augments the task of looking at individual tools to considering them as tool ‘compounds’, that comprise of substantive and procedural means interacting through the process of designing tools and subsequent tool calibrations. The academic study of policy tools thus far has proffered several perspectives on how they can individually be distinguished by their different substantive components and categorized based on common governance resources that need to be mobilized to create them. However, it is eventually how well policy tools are able to coordinate the support of common procedural means and how well they are able to align their enactment plans, which determine how effectively they work together as a deliberate toolkit. In line with the growing literature on policy design and multi-component policy means, this paper magnifies policy instrument design as a complex of procedural and substantive means. To illustrate the notion of such design compounds, this paper synopsizes the state of knowledge on the formulation of three classes of energy policies as an illustration of how substantive and procedural components interact during policy instrument design.

重新思考政策工具“化合物”中的程序：可再生能源政策视角

政策科学的当代研究将有效性作为政策设计的中心目标。这种强调贯穿于特定政策校准的微观设计考虑，以及更多的中观政策工具和工具组合。因此，有效的仪器设计增加了将单个工具视为工具“组合”的任务，包括通过设计工具和随后的工具校准过程相互作用的实质性和程序性手段。迄今为止，对政策工具的学术研究提供了几种观点，即如何根据不同的实质性组成部分对它们进行单独区分，并根据需要调动来创建它们的共同治理资源进行分类。然而，最终，政策工具能够如何协调共同程序手段的支持以及它们能够如何调整其制定计划，这决定了它们作为一个深思熟虑的工具包如何有效地协同工作。与越来越多的关于政策设计和多组成部分政策手段的文献相一致，本文将政策工具设计放大为程序手段和实质性手段的综合体。为了说明此类设计复合物的概念，本文概述了关于制定三类能源政策的知识状况，以说明在政策工具设计期间实质性和程序性组件如何相互作用。与越来越多的关于政策设计和多组成部分政策手段的文献相一致，本文将政策工具设计放大为程序手段和实质性手段的综合体。为了说明此类设计复合物的概念，本文概述了关于制定三类能源政策的知识状况，以说明在政策工具设计期间实质性和程序性组件如何相互作用。与越来越多的关于政策设计和多组成部分政策手段的文献相一致，本文将政策工具设计放大为程序手段和实质性手段的综合体。为了说明此类设计复合物的概念，本文概述了关于制定三类能源政策的知识状况，以说明在政策工具设计期间实质性和程序性组件如何相互作用。
